October 2010

"An interesting fact about October 2010: This October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, all in 1 month. It happens once in 823years"

From Twitter

[Deano!]

It's also a popular month for revolutions and beer-fests. And there's probably a connection.

10/10/10 too

I heard that said on the Radio and thought - that's crap!

The only reason this month has 3 Fridays, 3 Saturdays and 3 Sundays is because the First of October fell on Friday.

This has happened ten times in the last century alone.

1915, 1926, 1937, 1943, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1982, 1993, 1999.

Check it out.
